aaah evening

[balaa]

To everyone that has imed me and hasnt gotten a responce in a few days, I'm sorry but I take tuesday and weds off every week to spend with my fiance since they are his days off. Though all we ever seem to do is run errands XD yay.

Anyway mowed the lawn and went to prune the hedges and a spider bit me. Its all swollen, tingly and aches..and with my luck its my drawing hand. I'll probably force myself to work anyway XD.

Heres an update of the cheetah. Humm Im still working on revamping the chests somehow...though this style seems to fit the cheetah nicely. The bg is being worked on but Im thinking of changing the colors and going with morning hues of blue instead of a sunset feel.



Also did a few jag and tiger sketches...just randomly...will try to scan em in tomorrow. Im studying tiger stripes a little more to get a better idea for pattern.

Thanks to everyone that left me a comment in the last entry, I am sorry I could not respond to all..please know that I read and appreciate every comment ^_^!

All those triangular spots, I can see the patience it must take to do all of those. The shading is so subtle too, you can barely make it out. It'd be interesting to just see the layers you used for shading without the actual background/character layer. ^^
My suit I had made by someone else. Took her about a month of hard-core off and on working. I've got to do a few touchups to it (eyelids which are done, and coloring around the rear footpads), but the official pics are here. ^^
